Plan Your Faith-Based Meeting in Providence

When Roger Williams founded Providence in 1636, he envisioned a community where people could freely exchange ideas and practice their faith, calling it a “lively experiment.”

Nearly 400 years later, Williams’ dream continues to thrive. The Providence of today is home to vibrant neighborhoods, acclaimed restaurants and a variety of things to do, while still celebrating faith of all kinds.

Both Providence and nearby Warwick offer flexible meeting space options and a range of hotels to suit every budget. Providence is a compact walkable city and is easy to reach for meeting attendees by car, train or plane.
